Lombardy has a large number of regional parks protecting rivers, mountains, forests and agricultural land, each with its own unique characteristics. Visitors to the Adda Nord Park can admire the landscapes painted by Leonardo, and Campo dei Fiori near Varese is home to a Sacred Mountain complex and the Capelle dei Misteri del Rosario. The Adamello and Orobie Parks also offer spectacular itineraries.
The cities of Lombardy offer a wealth of art – the unmistakeable style of each one preserving its own distinct character. Milan, the capital of Lombardy, is a city of a thousand faces and has been called the 'City of the Madonna'.
This region is divided into twelve provinces: Bergamo, Brescia , Como, Cremona, Lecco, Lodi, Mantova, Milano, Monza, Pavia, Sondrio e Varese.
Lombardy has always been an important cultural centre: many great exponents of Italian literature were born here, such as Manzoni and Martinetti, and artists such as Caravaggio and Leonardo da Vinci plied their trade here.
